Betty was a very hard worker. I haired her to work in the Respiratory Therapy Dept. at Blount Memorial Hospital. Even though she was older then most of the other employees in R.T. she could do the work of any two of them. She was always dependable and never gave any problems. Every one who worked with Betty loved her and patients would tell me what a fine person she was. I had a short visit with Betty a few

Betty was a very hard worker. I haired her to work in the Respiratory Therapy Dept. at Blount Memorial Hospital. Even though she was older then most of the other employees in R.T. she could do the work of any two of them. She was always dependable and never gave any problems. Every one who worked with Betty loved her and patients would tell me what a fine person she was. I had a short visit with Betty a few weeks before she passed, and that was the last time I saw her. She will be missed by all who knew her.

I first met Betty in 1973 in Central Baptist Church. She was a wonderful Christian friend over the years and was always a blessing to me. May our LORD strengthen, sustain and comfort you all in your sorrow. Ardrue McMahan

BETTY ALWAYS HAD SOMETHING GOOD TO SAY ABOUT EVERYONE. SHE WAS A VERY FAITHFUL WORKER AT CENTRAL AND WE LOVED HER IN OUR CHOIR. SHE HAD PROBLEMS CLIMBING THE STAIRS TO THE CHOIR LOFT BUT WE TOLD HER WE WOULD CARRY HER UP IF SHE COULD COME, BUT SHE JUST DIDN'T HAVE THE STRENGTH. WE LOVED HER AND WILL MISS HER, BUT WE KNOW SHE IS WITH OUR LORD.

I'm very sorry for the loss of such a sweet lady whom I've known all my life. I remember her trying to teach me how to play the piano which I wasn't too successful at.....all the numerous things she bought from me when I was selling items for my softball teams....she was always humming/singing every time I saw her. She was an amazing neighbor to my family and I. She's now with the Good Lord-Pete-her mom and rest of her

I'm very sorry for the loss of such a sweet lady whom I've known all my life. I remember her trying to teach me how to play the piano which I wasn't too successful at.....all the numerous things she bought from me when I was selling items for my softball teams....she was always humming/singing every time I saw her. She was an amazing neighbor to my family and I. She's now with the Good Lord-Pete-her mom and rest of her loved ones who are there to greet her. Thoughts and prayers with you all during this time. I know her and my mom will have a lot to catch up on in Heaven. Thinking of you all
